The one thing that's been a constant in my mind for some time (and I've said it before here) is that the USWNT needs an upgrade on the defensive end.  Evidently they're not going to get a better GK than Naeher (I guess we've been spoiled by Solo and Scurry, but is there really no one better?), so they need to shore up their back line.  I was glad to see Ellis put Ertz at center back late in the game against the Aussies.  Johnston/Ertz was one of the linchpins in that incredible back line they had in the last world cup.  I think Sauerbrun still has it.  I'd like to see Short play more; Dahlkemper, Sonnett, not sure either is ready for prime time.  And I still don't get having Dunn on the back line, but I know people on the BY have explained it to me in the past, and I accept it.  But I still think Ertz belongs at center back.

I like the platoon of Heath and Press on the wing.  They're both really skilled and bring such different kits to the game, I think it can't help but put opponents a little off kilter.
